The Honorable Minister was followed by the former Health Minister Dr. Sipa Yankey and the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Kwasi Ahwoi respectively.



The polls were confirmed when the host of the morning show, Akuaba Gyasi was contacted. He said that the results were expected by the end of 2009, but due to some difficulties they were only received this year





The worst minister, according to the polls was Honorable Alhaji Mubarak Muntaka, the former Minister for Youth and Sports.



When Times spoke to the Hon. Bisw she could not help but expressed her utmost joy. ‘First of all I would want to say a big thank you to the almighty god because he is the one who elevates anybody and makes us who we are, without him we are nothing so god the glory.’ She said.



She thanked all loved ones and all Ghanaians including those in abroad who saw something in her and made this achievement possible. Dr. Bisiw also appreciated the unique opportunity given to her by the people of Ghana and the president to serve them.



The Honorable Minister was asked whether she expected anything like that ‘No no no, because I was not competing with anyone, the job that was given to me was what I did. And I did it with the best of my ability and tried to achieve excellence.’ She responded.



Dr. Bisiw expected that the government should be able to deliver better than they did last year. She believed, as a government, they had been able to do a lot of things and the economy was stabilized this year.



She was happy about what the various Ministries were doing, such as the Agric Ministry, and the works and housing ministries. She hoped that this year would be a year of implementation of the policies and programs that they worked on last year.



Dr. Bisiw enjoined all Ghanaians to rally behind the president regardless of their political affiliations because this was one Ghana. She urged Ghanaian to continue to support the government so that they could deliver the better Ghana agenda that they promised.
